An Endless Nights Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

Is it uncommon to think endlessly in nights?
I am unsure of what is wrong or right
I was I search of something and it was not seen
I tried desperately to look around as if was so much keen

I couldn’t sleep for many nights as thoughts kept on invading
The moon was overshadowed and had effect of cascading
The memory was getting full and some times fading
I had failed to grasp but kept on analyzing and reading

It was clear case of desertion
I was out from her list and posed a very big question
It might be remaining the same state of affairs with others
It was nevertheless peculiar condition and continued to bother

I tried to comprise on each and everything
We had happy married life and lacked nothing
The time was passing very easily and proving no night mare
It was heaven on earth and I preferred not to go anywhere

What was going on in wife’s mind remained complete mystery?
She was not at all pulling on well and I was feeling scary
This used to hurt me from within as I doubted descendant of gloom
She was having something in mind when I observed her minutely in room

One fine morning I found no trace of her as she was gone
I couldn’t read her note as it had devastating effect of cyclone
I couldn’t control the feelings and tears just rushed
She had bade farewell once for all and I was simply pushed

I was completely shattered and saw helplessly at the sky
I had no reason to feel frustrated but then also asked why
I surrendered to her wishes and gave fair trial
She never accepted me as her man and remained adamant on denial

It was complete breach of trust entered with holy deal
Everything was to be built in trust to look real
It is essential that married life must move on smoothly
There should be left no room to address it and must be spent nicely

She may have some reservation ion her mind
I tried all the way to analyze but couldn’t find
Even though I had remained throughout gentleman and kind
She had different views and found it as unfavorable wind


I was at pain to learn the things at this stage
It may prove very difficult to manage
Why such things should emerge at later age
Will it not be written as sad even on page?
